About Mae

Mae Lu is a Canada-born, So-Cal-raised Asian American 30 Something, living a dream with her hubby & dog in the magical kingdom of Hawaii.

This red-lipstick aficionado designs websites for a living and runs a fledgling lifestyle YouTube Channel in her spare time. On the weekends, if she's not filming, you can find her behind the lens of her Sony A6000, shooting scenery in Hawaii, hiking the hills and ridges of her beloved island home, or chasing the perfect sunset.

Why "thereafterish."? Because "and they lived happily ever thereafter" is just half of every story, and this is mine.

The Lost Vlog: California Diaries 06 – LA

June 14, 2016

A “lost” archive vlog from California’s travels early this year.

The Lost Vlog: California Diaries 06: LA – Palm Springs
I drove out to LA from Palm Springs area to hang with my best male friend, Adam, AKA my “Testie” (Bestie with Testes) for a couple of days. We got majorly silly in the car, filming the Best Friend Tag, but also filmed a bunch of our conversations. Then we had a creative meeting, enabled each other, watch sunset at Griffith Observatory and take hilarious Architecture of an Outfit / Outfit of the Day footage of each other, and have dinner with friends. The next day we brunch and went shopping. After those 40 hours in LA, I went back to Palm Springs to hang out with my family and celebrate my Pops’ 70th birthday multiple times before heading back home to Hawaii.

What I didn’t show in the video: Working late with my East Coast team from lunch until 2-3AM in the morning, helping my parents around the house or going shopping with my parents, tricking my dad into getting exercise, helping my parents cook lunch and dinner.

Here are some photos from the trip:

I had an amazing time in California with my friends and family and always feel sad leaving, but after touring around Detroit and So Cal and working while on the road, for three weeks, it was a relief to get back home to my family and house.
